Failure to turn off gas or disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury. • Do not attach ductwork to this product or use it as a makeup air heater. Such usage voids the warranty and will create unsafe operation. • In cases in which property damage may result from malfunction of the heater, a backup system or a temperature sensitive alarm should be used. • Follow installation instructions CAREFULLY to avoid creating unsafe conditions. All wiring should be done and checked by a qualified electrician, using copper wire only. Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the heater before shutting off the electrical supply. • The open end of piping systems being purged must not discharge into areas where there are sources of ignition or into confined spaces UNLESS precautions are taken as follows: 1) by ventilation of the space, 2) control of purging rate, 3) elimination of all hazardous conditions. All precautions must be taken to perform this operation in a safe manner. • When connecting to existing gas lines be sure to valve off the gas supply ahead of connection point. To avoid explosion or possible fire, always purge all residual gas from piping before cutting into existing line or removing threaded fittings. Failure to remove all gas vapors could result in death or serious injury or equipment or propertyonly-damage. • All gas connections should be made and leaktested by a suitably qualified individual, per instructions in this manual. Also follow procedures listed in “Gas Equipment Start-Up,” p. 43. • Use only the fuel for which the unit heater is designed (see rating plate). Using LP gas in a heater that requires natural gas, or vice versa, will create the risk of gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning and explosion. Important: Do not attempt to convert the heater for use with a fuel other than the one intended. Such conversion is dangerous, as it could create the risks listed previously. • Make certain that the power source conforms to the electrical requirements of the heater. • All field-installed wiring must be completed by qualified personnel. All field-installed wiring must comply with NEC and applicable local codes. Failure to follow this instruction could result in death or serious injuries. • Special attention must be given to any grounding information pertaining to this heater. To prevent the risk of electrocution, the heater must be securely and adequately grounded. This should be accomplished by connecting a grounded conductor between the service panel and the heater. To ensure a proper ground, the grounding means must be tested by a qualified electrician. • • 8 Do not insert fingers or foreign objects into the heater or its air moving device.

Do not install unit heaters in corrosive or flammable atmospheres! Premature failure of, or severe damage to the unit could result! Avoid locations where extreme drafts can affect burner operation. Unit heaters must not be installed in locations where air for combustion would contain chlorinated, halogenated or acidic vapors. If located in such an environment, premature failure of the unit could occur! Since the unit is equipped with an automatic gas ignition system, the unit heaters must be installed such that the gas ignition control system is not directly exposed to water spray, rain, or dripping water. Additional Requirement for Canadian Installations Refer to specification table and installation manual for proper usage. The following instructions apply to Canadian installations in addition to installation and operating instructions: 1. Installation must conform with local building codes, or in the absence of local codes, with current CSA B149.1, “Installation Codes for Natural Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment”, or CSA B149.2, “Installation Codes for Propane Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment”. 2. Any reference to U. S. standards or codes in these instructions are to be ignored, and the applicable Canadian standards or codes applied. Note: Location of unit heaters is related directly to the selection of sizes. Basic rules are as follows: Mounting Height. Mounting height varies by unit size: Unit sizes 30–120: If the unit heater is installed in a garage, it must be installed with a minimum clearance above the floor of 18 inches (457 mm). Unit sizes 150–400: Unit heaters equipped with standard fan guards must be installed at a minimum of 8 feet (2.4 m) above the floor, measured to the bottom of the unit. At heights above 8 feet (2.4 m), less efficient air distribution will result. If a unit is to be mounted below 8 feet (2.4 m) from the floor, an OSHA approved fan guard is required on the unit. Canada, installation is suitable in aircraft hangars when acceptable to the enforcing authorities. Public Garages. Unit sizes 150–400: In repair garages, unit heaters must be located at least 8 feet (2.4 m) above the floor. Refer to the latest edition of NFPA 88B, Repair Garages. In parking structures, unit heaters must be installed so that the burner flames are located a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) above the floor or protected by a partition not less than 18 inches (457 mm) high. However, any unit heater mounted in a parking structure less than 8 feet (2.4 m) above the floor must be equipped with an OSHA approved fan guard. Refer to the latest edition of NFPA 88A, Parking Structures. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with the latest edition of CSA-B149 “Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.” Air Distribution Direct air towards areas of maximum heat loss. When multiple heaters are involved, circulation of air around the perimeter is recommended where heated air flows along exposed walls. Satisfactory results can also be obtained where multiple heaters are located toward the center of the area with heated air directed toward the outside walls. Be careful to avoid all obstacles and obstructions which could impede the warm air distribution patterns. NOTICE: Maintain Minimum Thermostat Setting! Unit heaters should not be installed to maintain low temperatures and/or freeze protection of buildings. A minimum of 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting must be maintained. If unit heaters are operated to maintain lower than 50°F (10°C), hot flue gases are cooled inside the heat exchanger to a point where water vapor (a flue gas by-product) condenses onto the heat exchanger walls. The result is a mildly corrosive acid that prematurely corrodes the aluminized heat exchanger and can actually drip water down from the unit heater onto the floor surface. Additional unit heaters should be installed if a minimum 50°F (10°C) thermostat setting cannot be maintained. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in equipment or property damage. Aircraft Hangers. Unit sizes 150–400: Unit heaters must be installed in aircraft hangars as follows: in aircraft hangars, unit heaters must be at least 10 feet (3.0 m) above the upper surface of wings or engine enclosures of the highest aircraft to be stored in the hangar, and 8 feet (2.4 m) above the floor in shops, offices and other sections of the hangar where aircraft are not stored or housed. Refer to current ANSI/NFPA No. 409, Aircraft Hangars. In 16 GTND-SVX01B-EN Installation: Mechanical WARNING Overheating or Flooding Could Cause Fire or Explosion! Overheating or flooding (where any part of the unit heater has been under water) could result in fire or explosion. Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fails to shut off, shut off the manual gas valve to the unit heater before shutting off the electrical supply. Do not use the unit heater if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the unit heater and replace any gas control which has been underwater. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury. WARNING Hazardous Gases and Flammable Vapors! Exposure to hazardous gases from fuel substances have been shown to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or use of this product could cause flammable mixtures. To avoid hazardous gases and flammable vapors follow proper installation and set up of this product and all warnings as provided in this manual. Failure to follow all instructions could result in death or serious injury. Air for Combustion. The unit heater shall be installed in a location in which the facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion of gas, proper venting, and the maintenance of ambient temperature at safe limits under normal conditions of use. The unit heater shall be located in such a manner as not to interfere with proper circulation of air within the confined space. When buildings are so tight that normal infiltration does not meet air requirements, outside air shall be introduced per Sections 1.3.4.2 and 1.3.4.3 of ANSI Z223.1 for combustion requirements. A permanent opening or openings having a total free area of not less than one square inch per 5,000 Btu/h (1.5 Kw) of total input rating of all appliances within the space shall be provided. Note: Unit heater sizing should be based on heat loss calculations where the unit heater output equals or exceeds heat loss. Clearances Each gas unit heater shall be located with respect to building construction and other equipment so as to permit access to the Unit Heater. Unit sizes 30–120: Clearance between vertical walls and the vertical sides of the unit heater shall be no less than 1 inch (25.4 mm). However, to ensure access to the control box and fan, a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) is required for the fan, and control box side. A minimum clearance of 1 inch (25.4 mm) must be maintained between the top of GTND-SVX01B-EN the Unit Heater and the ceiling. The bottom of the Unit Heater must be no less than 1 inch (25.4 mm) from any combustible. The distance between the flue collector and any combustible must be no less than 1 inch (25.4 mm). Unit sizes 150–400: Clearance between vertical walls and the vertical sides of the unit heater shall be no less than 6 inches (152 mm). However, to ensure access to the control box, a minimum of 18 inches (457 mm) is required for the control box side. A minimum clearance of 6 inches (152 mm) must be maintained between the top of the unit heater and the ceiling. The bottom of the unit heater must be no less than 12 inches (305 mm) from any combustible. The distance between rear of unit and vertical wall should be no less than 18 inches to maintain inlet air flow. The distance between the flue collector and any combustible must be no less than 6 inches (152 mm). Also refer to “Air for Combustion,” p. 17 and “Installation: Venting,” p. 23 sections. Note: Increasing the clearance distances may be necessary if there is a possibility of distortion or discoloration of adjacent materials. Unit Mounting. WARNING Heavy Objects! Make certain that the lifting methods used to lift the heater and the method of suspension used in the field installation of the heater are capable of uniformly supporting the weight of the heater at all times. Make certain that the structure to which the heater is mounted is capable of supporting its weight. Under no circumstances must the gas lines, the venting system or the electrical conduit be used to support the heater; or should any other objects (i.e. ladder, person) lean against the heater, gas lines, venting system or the electrical conduit for support. Failure to follow recommendations could result in death or serious injury. NOTICE: Equipment Damage! Unit heaters must be hung level from side to side and from front to back: • Unit sizes 30–120: Refer to Figure 15, p. 18 through Figure 17, p. 18. • Unit sizes 150–400: Refer to Figure 18, p. 19 through Figure 20, p. 19.

Note: For 90-degree nozzle assemblies, install the second sub-assembly by attaching it to the first sub-assembly. Attach the corresponding panels (i.e., top panel to top panel, right side panel to right side panel, etc). 20 GTND-SVX01B-EN Installation: Piping Gas Supply Piping WARNING Flammable Vapors! When connecting to existing gas lines be sure to valve off the gas supply ahead of connection point. To avoid explosion or possible fire, always purge all residual gas from piping before cutting into existing line or removing threaded fittings. Failure to remove all gas vapors could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only damage. Pipe Sizing To provide adequate gas pressure at the gas unit heater, size the gas piping as follows: 1. Find the ft3/hr by using the following formula: ft3/hr = Input Btu per ft3 2. Refer to Table 3, p. 22. Match “Length of Pipe” with appropriate “Gas Input - Ft3/Hr” value. This value can then be matched to the pipe size at the left of the table. Example: It is determined that a 67 foot (20.4 m) run of gas pipe is required to connect a 200 MBtu gas unit heater to a 1,000 Btu/ft3 (0.29 kW) natural gas supply. 200,000 Btu/hr 1,000 Btu/ft3 = 200 ft3/hr Using Table 3, p. 22, a 1-inch pipe is needed. Notes: • See “General Safety Information,” p. 7 for English/SI (metric) unit conversion factors. • If more than one gas unit heater is to be served by the same piping arrangement, the total cubic feet per hour input and length of pipe must be considered. • If the gas unit heater is to be fired with LP gas, consult the local LP gas dealer for pipe size information. WARNING Hazard of Explosion and Fire! Heater installation for use with propane (LP gas) must be made by a qualified LP Gas Dealer or LP Gas Installer to ensure that all appropriate codes, installation procedures, and precautions have been followed. Failure to follow these instructions could result in death or serious injury. Before any connection is made to an existing line supplying other gas appliances, contact the local gas company to make certain that the existing line is of adequate size to handle the combined load.

Determine the required ft3/h by dividing the rated heater input by 1000. For SI / Metric measurements: Convert unit Btu/h to kilowatts. Multiply the unit input (kW) by 0.0965 to determine m3/h. 2. FOR NATURAL GAS: Select the pipe size directly from the table. 3. FOR PROPANE GAS: Multiply the ft3/h (m3/h) value by 0.633; then use the table. 4. Refer to the metric conversion factors listed in “General Safety Information,” p. 7 for more SI unit measurements/conversions. Pipe Installation 1. Install the gas piping in accordance with applicable local codes. 2. Check gas supply pressure. Each unit heater must be connected to a gas supply capable of supplying its full rated capacity as specified in Table 4, p. 23. A field LP tank regulator must be used to limit the supply pressure to maximum of 14 in. wc (3.5 kPa). All piping should be sized in accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Standard Z223.1 National Fuel Gas Code; in Canada, according to CSA-B149. Unit sizes 150–400: Unit sizes 150–400 must also be connected to a manifold pressure. If gas pressure is excessive on natural gas applications, install a pressure regulating valve in the line upstream from the main shutoff valve. For correct gas supply piping size, refer to the tables: • Unit sizes 30–120: Refer to Table 1, p. 12. • Unit sizes 150–400: Refer to Table 2, p. 14. • All unit sizes: Refer to Table 3, p. 22, Table 4, p. 23, Table 9, p. 41, and Table 10, p. 42. If gas pressure is excessive on natural gas applications, install a pressure regulating valve in the line upstream from the main shutoff valve. WARNING Hazard of Explosion! Adequately support the piping to prevent strain on the gas manifold and controls. To prevent explosion, fire, or gas leaks, support piping so that piping does not sag or put pressure on the burners internal to the unit. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-onlydamage. 3. To prevent the mixing of moisture with gas, run the take-off piping from the top, or side, of the main. 4. Standard unit heaters (all unit sizes) and optional twostage units (unit sizes 150–400) are supplied with a combination valve which includes: a. Manual “A” valve b. Manual “B” valve c. Solenoid valve d. Pressure regulator 22 GTND-SVX01B-EN Installation: Piping Pipe directly in to combination valve (see Figure 21, p. 23). 5. Gas valve has a pressure test post requiring a 3/32” hex head wrench to read gas supply and manifold pressures. Open 1/4 turn counterclockwise to read, turn clockwise to close and reseat. A 5/16” ID hose fits the pressure post. 6. Provide a drip leg in the gas piping near the gas unit heater. A ground joint union and a manual gas shutoff valve should be installed ahead of the unit heater controls to permit servicing. The manual main shutoff valve must be located external to the jacket (see Figure 21, p. 23). 7. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa). Table 4. Gas Type Overtightening! Do not overtighten the inlet gas piping into the valve. This may cause stresses that could crack the valve! Note: Use pipe joint sealant resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases regardless of gas conducted. WARNING Hazard of Explosion! Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may occur. Use a leak test solution or other approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow recommended safe leak test procedures could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-onlydamage. Figure 21.

Your venting system must not be blocked by any snow, snow drifts, or any foreign matter. Inspect your venting system to ensure adequate ventilation exists at all times! A blocked venting system could result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Symptoms of such condition include grogginess, lethargy, inappropriate tiredness, or flu-like symptoms. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury. WARNING Risk of Fire and Carbon Monoxide Poisoning with Improper Piping! Never use a pipe of diameter other than that specified: • Unit sizes 30–120: Use 4” (120 mm) flue pipe. • Unit sizes 150–400: Refer to Table 2, p. 14! To prevent pipe from melting and introducing exhaust fumes into the air supply, never use PVC, ABS or any other non-metallic pipe for venting! To prevent fan restriction, an elbow should never be attached directly to the venter. Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury or equipment damage. D3631C ANSI now organizes vented appliances into four categories. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).

All unit sizes: Venting categories Non Condensing Condensing Negative Vent Pressure I II Positive Vent Pressure III IV Category I Includes non-condensing appliances with negative vent pressure, like the traditional atmospheric unit heater. Category II Groups condensing appliances with negative vent pressure. Category III Appliances are non-condensing and operate with a positive vent pressure. Category IV Covers condensing appliances with positive vent pressure. Note: Category II and IV do not apply to equipment specified within this manual. When an existing heater is removed or replaced in venting system, the venting system may not be properly sized to vent the attached appliances. An improperly sized vent system can cause formulation of condensate or leakage or spillage of flue gases. The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances connected to the venting system are not in operation: 1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system. 2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies, which could cause an unsafe condition. 3. Insofar as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliance(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace damper. 6. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected immediately so that the system conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the venting system, the venting system should be resized to approach the minimum size as determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. The unit heater shall be connected to a factory built chimney or vent complying with a recognized standard, or a masonry or concrete chimney lined with a lining material acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction. Venting into an unlined masonry chimney is prohibited. The following guidelines apply to all categories to follow: Table 6.

When necessary to work with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks. Failure to follow all of the recommended safety warnings provided, could result in death or serious injury. WARNING Hazardous Voltage and Gas! Turn off the gas supply and disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing unit. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized and the gas can not be inadvertently turned on. Failure to turn off gas or disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury. WARNING Proper Field Wiring and Grounding Required! All field wiring MUST be performed by qualified personnel. Improperly installed and grounded field wiring poses FIRE & ELECTROCUTION hazards. To avoid these hazards, you MUST follow requirements for field wiring installation and grounding as described in NEC and your local/state electrical codes. Failure to follow these requirements could result in death or serious injury. NOTICE: Use Copper Conductors Only! Unit terminals are not designed to accept other types of conductors. Failure to use copper conductors could result in equipment damage. It is recommended that the electrical power supply to each unit heater be provided by a separate, fused, and permanently live electrical circuit. A disconnect switch of suitable electrical rating for each unit heater should be located as close to the gas valve and controls as possible. Each unit heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with the latest edition of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 or CSA Standard C22.1. See sample wiring connections: • All unit sizes: Refer to Figure 37, p. 37 through Figure 39, p. 38 and Figure 42, p. 50. • Unit sizes 30–120: Also refer to Figure 43, p. 51 through Figure 44, p. 51. • Unit sizes 150–400: Also refer to Figure 45, p. 52 and Figure 46, p. 52. Thermostat Wiring and Location Note: The thermostat must be mounted on a vertical, vibration-free surface, free from air currents, and in accordance with the furnished instructions. Mount the thermostat approximately 5 feet (1.5 m) above the floor in an area where it will be exposed to a free circulation of average temperature air. Always refer to the thermostat instructions as well as our unit wiring diagram, and wire accordingly. Avoid mounting the thermostat in the following locations: 1. Cold areas—Outside walls or areas where drafts may affect the operation of the control. 2. Hot areas—Areas where the sun’s rays, radiation, or warm air currents may affect control operation. 3. Dead areas—Areas where air cannot circulate freely, such as behind doors or in corners. Figure 37. All unit sizes: Low-voltage thermostat wiring (Single stage) Standard units are shipped for use on 115 volt, 60 hertz single phase electric power. The motor nameplate and electrical rating of the transformer should be checked before energizing the unit heater electrical system. All external wiring must conform to the latest edition of ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 National Electrical Code and applicable local codes; in Canada, to the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1 CSA Standard C22.1.

All unit sizes: T834H or T843N Thermostat wiring W R R G W1 W2 G D6922C Thermostat Heat Anticipator Adjustments. The initial heat anticipator setpoint should equal the thermostat’s current amperage draw when the unit is firing. This setpoint should be measured for the best results. Use the recommended ranges as a guide. If further information is needed, consult your thermostat manufacturer’s instructions. Recommended Heat Anticipator Settings: Unit Size: For Tubular Units: 30–200 0.35 Amps 250–400 0.65 Amps Note: Should any high limit wires have to be replaced, they must be replaced with wiring material having a temperature rating of 200°C minimum. 38 GTND-SVX01B-EN Start-Up All Unit Sizes: Operation Power Vented Propeller Units—Direct Spark Ignition Explanation of Controls WARNING Carbon Monoxide! Never operate unit heaters if the power venter is not operable. Your venting system must not be blocked by any snow, snow drifts, or any foreign matter. Inspect your venting system to ensure adequate ventilation exists at all times! Failure to follow these recommendations could result in death or serious injury due to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning (symptoms include grogginess, lethargy, inappropriate tiredness, or flu-like symptoms). Note: Refer to figures: • Unit sizes 30–120: Refer to Figure 40, p. 40. • Unit sizes 150–400: Refer to Figure 41, p. 40. 1. Each Unit Heater comes equipped with a power vent system that consists of a power venter motor and blower, pressure switch, and sealed flue collector in place of the conventional draft diverter. 2. The power venter motor is energized by the room thermostat through the integrated control board when a demand for heat is sensed. The pressure switch measures the flow through the vent system and energizes the direct spark ignition system beginning the pre-purge timing when the flow is correct. 3. The direct spark ignition system consists of an ignition control module and a gas valve. When the pre-purge period ends, the spark ignition system is energized, and the gas valve opens to supply gas to the burner. Once the thermostat has been satisfied, the vent system is de-energized, stopping all gas flow to the unit. 4. The limit switch interrupts the flow of electric current to the control board, interrupting the flow of gas to the gas valve if the unit heater becomes overheated. WARNING Flame Roll-Out Hazard! Flame roll-out can cause fire! The flame roll-out switch trips in events in which flame extends beyond the combustion chamber. When the flame roll-out switch trips, it interrupts the flow of electric current to the control board, interrupting the flow of gas to the unit heater in the event of sustained flame roll-out from the burner area. If the flame roll-out switch trips, you must determine and correct the cause of the flame roll-out before starting the unit back up. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury. 5. Once the thermostat is satisfied, or the limit switch interrupts the flow of electric current to the control board, the unit will begin a post-purge period. When the post-purge period ends, the power venter motor is de-energized. 6. The operation of the fan is delayed for approximately 30 seconds once the thermostat is closed, and continues operation for approximately 30 seconds after the thermostat opens. Note: The start-up fan delay must not exceed 30 seconds from a cold start. 7. The wall thermostat, supplied optionally, is a temperature sensitive switch that operates the vent and ignition systems to control the temperature of the space being heated. Note: The thermostat must be mounted on a vertical, vibration-free surface, free from air currents, and in accordance with the furnished instructions. Start-Up (also refer to lighting instruction plate equipped on the unit) 1. Open the manual gas valve, in the gas supply line to the unit heater with union connection loose, purge air from the gas line. Tighten the union and check for leaks. WARNING Hazard of Explosion! Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may occur. Use a leak test solution or other approved methods for leak testing. Before attempting to light or relight the pilot, wait 5 minutes to allow gas which may have accumulated in the burner compartment to escape. Failure to follow recommended safe leak test procedures or pilot lighting/relighting instructions could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-only-damage. 2. Open the manual valve on the unit heater. GTND-SVX01B-EN 39 Start-Up 3. Turn on the electrical power. The unit heater should now be under the control of the thermostat. Set the thermostat to its highest setting; the power venter motor should start and burner ignition occur. Turn the thermostat to its lowest setting; the power venter motor shuts off and the burner(s) should extinguish. Reset the thermostat to the desired operational setting. Note: For more information, refer to “Gas Input Rate,” p. 40 and “Gas Pressure Adjustments,” p. 40. Shut-Down 1. Turn the valve selector knob to the OFF position. Gas Input Rate 2.

Figure 40. Unit sizes 30–120: Burner parts/identification NOTICE: Overfiring! Never overfire the unit heater, as this could cause unsatisfactory operation, or shorten the life of the heater. Check the gas input rate as follows (refer to “General Safety Information,” p. 7 for metric conversions): 1. Turn off all gas appliances that utilize gas the same meter as the unit heater. 2. Turn gas on to the unit heater. 3. Using the gas meter, clock the time that it takes to burn one cubic foot of gas (Heating Value). 4. Insert the time, in seconds, into the formula below: Input Rate = Heating Value (Btu/ft3) (3600 s/hr) Time (s/ft3) Example: If the heating value = 1000 BTU/ft3 and the time/ ft3 = 48 s/ft3 then Input Rate = (1000 BTU/ft3) (3600 s/hr) 48 s/ft3 Input Rate = 75,000 BTU/hr (Refer to “General Safety Information,” p. 7 for metric conversions.) Figure 41. Unit sizes 150–400: Burner parts/ identification Note: If the computation exceeds, or is less than 95 percent of the gas Btu/h input rating, adjust the gas pressure: • Unit sizes 30–120: Refer to Table 1, p. 12. • Unit sizes 150–400: Refer to Table 2, p. 14. Gas Pressure Adjustments Adjust the gas pressure as follows: 1. NATURAL GAS: Best results are obtained when the heater is operating at its full input rating with the manifold pressure of 3.5 inches wc (0.9 kPa). Adjustment of the pressure regulator is not normally necessary since it is preset at the factory. However, field adjustment may be made as follows: Primary Air Adjustment Primary air adjustment is made at the factory. No field adjustments are necessary. 40 a. Attach manometer at pressure tap plug: • Unit sizes 30–120: The pressure tap plug is below the control outlet. • Unit sizes 150–400: the pressure tap plug is adjacent to the control outlet. GTND-SVX01B-EN Start-Up b. Remove the regulator adjustment screw cap, located on the combination gas valve. c. With a small screwdriver, rotate the adjustment screw counterclockwise to decrease or clockwise to increase pressure. d. Replace regulator adjustment screw cap. 2. PROPANE GAS: An exact manifold pressure of 10.0 inches wc (2.5 kPa) must be maintained for proper operation of the heater. If the unit is equipped with a pressure regulator on the combination gas valve, follow Step a through Step d (above). If the unit is not so equipped, the propane gas supply system pressure must be regulated to attain this manifold operating pressure. 3. The adjusted manifold pressure should not vary more than 10 percent from the pressure specified in Table 9, p. 41 and Table 10, p. 42. Table 9.

The maintenance and troubleshooting procedures recommended in this section of the manual could result in exposure to electrical, mechanical or other potential safety hazards. Always refer to the safety warnings provided throughout this manual concerning these procedures. When possible, disconnect all electrical power including remote disconnect and discharge all energy storing devices such as capacitors before servicing. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized. When necessary to work with live electrical components, have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual who has been trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks. Failure to follow all of the recommended safety warnings provided, could result in death or serious injury. Periodic Service All Maintenance/Service information should be recorded accordingly on the inspection sheet provided in this manual (see “Gas Equipment Start-Up,” p. 43). Note: The heater and vent system should be checked once a year by a qualified technician. WARNING Hazardous Voltage and Gas! Turn off the gas supply and disconnect all electric power, including remote disconnects before servicing unit. Follow proper lockout/tagout procedures to ensure the power can not be inadvertently energized and the gas can not be inadvertently turned on. Failure to turn off gas or disconnect power before servicing could result in death or serious injury. Important: Gas tightness of the safety shut-off valves must be checked on at least an annual basis. WARNING Hazard of Explosion! Never use an open flame to detect gas leaks. Explosive conditions may occur. Use a leak test solution or other approved methods for leak testing. Failure to follow recommended safe leak test procedures could result in death or serious injury or equipment or property-onlydamage. To check gas tightness of the safety shut-off valves, turn off the manual valve upstream of the appliance combination control. Remove the plug on the inlet side of the combination control and connect a manometer to that tapping: • Unit sizes 30–120: The plug is 3/32-hex head. 44 Unit sizes 150–400: The plug is a 1/8-inch pipe plug. Turn the manual valve on to apply pressure to the combination control. Note the pressure reading on the manometer, then turn the valve off. A loss of pressure indicates a leak. If a leak is detected, use a soap solution to check all threaded connections. If no leak is found, combination control is faulty and must be replaced before putting appliance back in service. Should maintenance be required, perform the following inspection and service routine: 1.
